[06:46] afternoon everyone [06:47] afternoon Kilos :) [06:48] haha [06:48] anyone here running xubuntu? [06:52] pavlushka: The question is more who here is actually running a flavour of Ubuntu :) [06:53] lol, this is #ubuntu-za channel! how irrelevant that could be, :p [06:57] good afternoon [06:57] paddatrapper: but may be the actual scenario is that what you are describing. [06:57] No one wants to ask, how to lock the desktop background settings that can not be changed in ubuntu. [06:57] anyone can help me ? [06:57] hi qwebirc28282 [06:58] what do you need help with [06:58] oh i see [06:58] which release of ubuntu have you got [06:59] Ubuntu 12.10 [07:00] oh my thats so old [07:00] I also disposable Ubuntu 16:04lts [07:01] http://www.complete-concrete-concise.com/ubuntu-2/ubuntu-12-04/ubuntu-12-04-how-to-lock-your-screen-computer [07:04] that's not what I mean ,, [07:04] the point is how do I prevent my desktop display image can not be changed [07:04] how is it changing [07:04] are you the only one using it [07:05] I wanted to lock his desktop background so that other people can not change [07:07] can understand what I mean / [07:07] yes im trying to find out [07:08] right click on screen and see options [07:08] i can remember how i did it back then [07:08] i cant remember sorry [07:09] but we will find a way [07:09] so how [07:09] ? [07:09] im using google to see how others have done it [07:10] google how to lock desktop background on 12.04 [07:10] there many links [07:10] okey, i wait [07:12] one guy says do this in the terminal [07:12] su USERNAME -c 'COMMAND' [07:12] Kilos: no, that's running a command as another user [07:12] pavlushka jump in here [07:12] ty superfly [07:14] Have a look at polkit stuff potentially? Although I think that is more just system side stuff. gconf might have it, otherwise cron job every minute to set the background [07:14] theblazehen can you help him [07:14] Kilos not right now, sorry. Maybe later if no one else can [07:15] too much in google about that and cron jobs are for it peeps [07:15] IT [07:15] qwebirc28282: like theblazehen said, you can set a cronjob to set it back the background. [07:15] qwebirc28282 go through this http://askubuntu.com/questions/124456/is-there-a-way-to-disable-changing-the-background-in-gnome [07:18] qwebirc28282 https://github.com/TomSmeets/FractalArt#gnome can set the background [07:18] qwebirc28282: you can lock your user account , so no one can even access it and set up another account for others. [07:19] qwebirc28282: that way the background set by you will remain unchanged. [08:05] goeiedag mense [08:29] dag se inetpro [08:47] hi theblazehen Kilos paddatrapper inetpro superfly [08:47] hi andrewlsd [08:48] Anyone else here having issues trying to `apt update` against za.archive.ubuntu.com?
